Nick, you gotta give me a twenty eight, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.640 but it better be the one I'm thinking about, or 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.479 I'm kicking you off the show. Yeah, there's only one 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.600 twenty eight right, good? Yeah, because he's not hanging on 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:12.280 the wall. Hell ever, I mean, Arkansas has got a 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.120 big game this week. I'm gonna say, you're talking to 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.360 the wrong guy. I gotta go with a little Felix Jones. Well, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.440 also a twenty eight. But Darren Woodson's my guy, right, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.720 That's I love Darren Woodson. He can't be anybody. But 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.800 every anytime we do twenty eight, it's got to be Darren. 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.840 It's Darren Woodson. I'm not gonna say Tyson Thompson. Please 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.880 don't Darryl Worley gets no love. Please don't, okay, please? 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.440 You know, I was thinking we maybe I ought to 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.440 extend this out and we ought to do two, like 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.560 we get Nick to give us one and then Dave 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.240 give us one that's more recent, like because give us 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.040 something within the last decade. Yeah, that's all you got, right? 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.720 That might be a good way to do it. I 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.880 don't know. Um, you have Nick one. He has to 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.000 pick the years he's actually on the team. How about that. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.160 That's a good one. All right? Go oh y, let 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.480 me give you one right now, I got you one. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.640 All right, let's go with How about Curtis Stewart. Oh man, 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.720 this is twenty eight. Oh, I'm sorry, nineteen sixty four 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.800 to sixty six. I don't know. Nineteen eighty nineties are 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.320 running back for Oh that's a skit. Eighty nine eighty 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.880 nine it says thoughts never heard of him. Start. I 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.240 thought you were gonna say somebody like Norm Granger. I 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.520 think he played in the eighties sometimes twenty eight I 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.919 think so it would be it would be terrible radio. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:32.079 But Nick does have a photographic memory of Cowboyer running 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.280 back nineteen eighty four. All right, but back but back then. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.040 But I'll tell you you feel like, what about week one? 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.720 I'm like week one, Yeah, Nick can't remember the score 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.960 of the Bucks game, but he'll be like, yeah, ninety 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.960 four Philly at the Vet. Yeah, seventeen sixteen or whatever, 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.600 half times wild, Yeah, ninety four, speaking of just to 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.360 go full circle, ninety four at the Vet. That's Darren 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.040 Woodson had a ninety five yard interception return. I believe 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.160 they won thirty thirty one nineteen. What was the what 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.359 was the time in the game when Darren had late 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.880 because it was twenty four nineteen, I believe, and he 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:08.840 picks off a pass and takes it like ninety four 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.400 yards for a touchdown and they went I must say 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.640 thirty one nineteen nineteen. Yes, and Woody with the huge 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.080 player only touchdown, but that was a big one. That's 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.400 I mean, that's wild. But he does he does not 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.960 remember the score of like any game from last season. Right, 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.560 asking about Week one, twenty twenty one, it's like, yew 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.200 was the Bucks thirty one twenty nine? And I do though, Hey, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.280 when we were writing about the last week's game with 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.840 Steele and how went full circle? I did. I did 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.080 remember that they won twenty to seventeen, you know, last 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.800 week and lost twenty to seventeen in that game against 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.800 the Rams. So this is a huge full circle game 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.920 for him. Terrence Steele. Yeah, so all right, we got 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.760 a lot of things we're gonna talk about today. We're 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.400 gonna talk about with the storylines for this game. We 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.840 do that every Friday. I got some story last you 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.120 guys on the offense and defensive side of the ball. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.080 But before we get to that, let's catch up on 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.040 some injury updates. We know that there are a few 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.080 guys that are definitely going to be out this game. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.840 They're too in particulate. I want to get your feedback 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.920 on how you think the Cowboys will handle it. Let's 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.400 start with Carlos Watkins defensive tackle. What do the Cowboys 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.760 do at defensive tackle from your opinion this week? Good question. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.040 I mean, it's that's been a that's been a low 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.960 key situation since training camp with what happened to Neville. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.599 You still have Osa, you still have Brent Urban, still 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.320 have Quentin Bohanna. I bet they'll call up Justin Hamilton 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.760 from the practice squad between now on Monday, and that'll 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.720 probably be your four primary. I think the guy that could. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.560 I hate saying this because he's barely practiced, but at 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.520 some point Chauncey Golston's got a factor into this defensive end. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.840 He's a guy that kind of can slide down into 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.279 tackle they which they might need him at end because 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:58.360 Doren's armstrong. God yeah somewhere, yeah, you know, somehow, some 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.320 way I won't be It's funny. Could like last week 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.320 and people have asked me, I get it. People are 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.680 curious and they're like, well, he practiced, where is he? 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.359 It's like that was his first pro practice in pads. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.200 It was the first time he's put on pads since 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.560 he was at Iowa. So I'm sitting here like, well, 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.200 they're not going to throw him into a pro game 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.600 after two padded practices or sorry, one padded practice, three 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.159 practices overall, like that's insane. But now second week, I'm like, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.919 might need you, buddy, sorry, Like that grace period was 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.400 one week helped me with with Gholston. I remember whatever 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.440 they listed him at the highlights that we showed were there. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.359 The was the opposite position. So we don't have the 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.800 rights to college film without paying out the ass for it. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.599 So sorry, that was two crafts. Yeah, so he was 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.719 an end. He was an end to Iowa, but we 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800 can get Senior Bowl tape. And he got to the 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.120 Senior Bowl and was kind of doing mental math. He 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.760 was like a lot of ends here, not very many tackles, 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.000 and he went to the Senior Bowl coaching staff and 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.720 was like, kick me inside if that's where I can 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.600 get on the field. So he played a lot of 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.200 tackle with the Evil. They had him playing some tackle 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.880 at OTA's a lot of people I think, um. I 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.479 think Mike McCarthy said yesterday he was like, Chauncey was 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.640 the young lineman that I was the most excited about 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.120 heading into camp, and then we just didn't get to 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.719 see him. And Osa has kind of taken his place 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.280 as the ex so there's reason to be excited about that. 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:21.840 He just hasn't had a chance to do much. Didn't 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.760 he also say, And I might be mistaking this, but 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.400 I thought I heard that McCarthy said that he expects 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.440 him to actually be playing this week, right. I don't 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.320 remember him saying that he might have I'm not saying 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.200 he didn't. I don't remember it off the top of 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.320 my head, but that's kind of my point is he 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.760 was healthy. He was fully healthy last week and they 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.920 were like, not yet. But especially with the injuries that 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.120 they're facing, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.040 him up this week and in either one of those 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.400 spots defensive end or defensive tackle. Some utility man get 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.320 out there. Yeah, all right, Dorian's armstrong, he's the other guy. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.960 He's out at defensive end. Obviously, Chauncey Golston may fit 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.120 factor in there. But what else do you think the 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.040 Cowboys will do at defensive end? They do get Randy 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.000 Gregory back this week, is there anything else that you 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.800 think they'll need to do in order to adjust for 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.040 the numbers that they need to defer? Anybody else that 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.160 could rush the passer, somebody that doesn't play the defensive 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.920 end but could rush the passer. I feel like we've 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.240 talked about it. Maybe I think you'll you will see, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.360 you will see mica A gale mp. I'm just curious 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.480 about the percentages. Is it going to be completely pass 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.280 rusher again or is he going to do a little 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.960 bit of both. Yesterday at practice, they you know, they 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:36.200 do their individual warm ups, first ten minutes, just getting loose. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.120 He was with the linebackers, and then he made a 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.360 b line for the pass rushers, and he was there 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.720 for the rest of the time. We were outside. Now 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.720 we don't see them run plays, we don't see any 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.480 of the game plan stuff, so I don't know what 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.480 that means. But he's gonna he's gonna have a role 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.400 on the edge again this week, I guess. Isn't this awesome? 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.720 But like just having him like that is like that 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.840 reminds me of like a high school player, like when 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.960 you're you're at a high school guy and like, oh, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.440 this guy right here, he's going to Oklahoma or whatever, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.240 you know, like he's a stud. Like he does this, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.080 he does that, he does all that, Like you don't 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.920 see that in the NFL. And I get it's only 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.320 two games, but it's just like this is fun, Like 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.680 it's fun to and it's surprising that I know it's 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.680 only been a couple of games, but you do kind 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.280 of go back and look at the draft and go 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.320 who was taking ahead of him, because it just seems 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.120 like this is such a dynamic player. That you why 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.760 wouldn't Why wasn't he taken earlier? And I guess there 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.360 were some off the field issues there were, ye, and 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.560 that's probably that might take him off a few boards. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.680 And it was just an incredibly offensive heavy draft as well. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.600 I mean, the first defensive player didn't go off the 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.720 board until eight. You know, offensive tackles, a boatload of 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.640 good wide receivers, and the teams at the top of 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.920 the board needed those things. I think that's a big 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.679 part of it as well. I think, yeah, objectively, just 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.120 in a general draft class, I think he would have 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.360 gone much higher than he did. And we've talked about 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.880 we talked this the other day, Nick, I couldn't think 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:06.480 of another defensive player in the NFL who was more 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.480 versatilet probably since Troy Palamala. He was a guy that 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.360 you would see all over the field. You'd see him 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.240 up rushing, you'd see him up in the box playing 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.640 to run, you see him back deep covering against the 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.880 pass like he did a little bit of everything. And 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.760 it's hard to find those kind of guys when you 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.679 think about it, even across the league that can do 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.840 so many different things like what we've seen in this 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.440 just in the early career of Michael Parson. I just 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.520 want to say, though, and I'm not trying to rain 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.280 on anybody's parade. I'm as excited about Mica as anybody. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.960 I wrote a whole column about all of the things 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.240 that I think he can do to help you in 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.760 this game yesterday. But I think like people are so 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.240 eager to win, you know what I mean, like people 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.440 and they want to declare Mica, Like, look at all 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.480 these dummies passing on Mica and it's like it's still 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.240 week three of the rookie year. Patrick Surtan and j C. Horne. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.319 It's a bummer. J C. Horne got hurt last night, 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.760 but they were off to awesome starts. They both already 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.319 have interceptions. We don't have to declare winners and losers 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.160 in September, and it could be a lot of winners took. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.360 I mean that's hopefully everybody wins. Like I don't you know, 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.160 I don't care, Pat, you know, Sir Tannon Horn are 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.600 not gonna drastically affect the Cowboys fortunes. They're not in 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.680 the division or anything. Like. I hope every I hope 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.559 everybody gets to have a great player yea, all right. UM, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.040 one thing I also want to talk to you guys 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.079 real quick about before we get to the storylines. There 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.840 was a lot of talk yesterday about the about the 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.520 coach in in Philly wearing a T shirt during his 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.440 press conference that said beat Dallas, and it maybe start 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.199 thinking about, obviously, in in Philly this week, like it 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.560 is called Dallas week. Every time they play the Cowboys, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.280 it's called Dallas Week. I don't think. I don't live 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.480 in Philly, but I don't think they have a giant 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:53.040 sweet Cory Washington football team Weekum. Their their sights are 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.960 firmly placed on Dallas. If you ask the Philly fan, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.719 I'm guessing they all will say in consensus, Dallas is 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.840 the primary rival. It made me start to think, does 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.680 Allas really have a primary rival? I know that obviously 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.600 the divisions the division, but I also get the impression 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.720 that a lot of those teams fan bases look at 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.880 Dallas as more of a rival than Dallas looks at 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.640 them as a rival. So I put out a little 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.880 pole on Twitter. It was interesting what came back. I 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.679 asked fans, who do they think the Cowboys primary rival is? 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.479 Sixty seven percent of them said Philadelphia, which doesn't necessarily 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.440 shock me with followed by the Washington football team at 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.559 twenty three, Giants at ten percent. And I did find 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.720 another interesting thing, which was it really kind of seemed 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.000 to divide along your age, like older fans are like, oh, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.520 there's no doubt it's the Washington football team, much younger 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.440 fans who have lived and been fans in this last 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.920 twenty years fifteen years. For them, it was all about Philadelphia. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.400 So it made me, you know again, I thought that 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.679 was very interesting. I'd love to know what you guys think. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.880 Who do you think is Dallas's primary rival or do 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.400 they have a primary in this division? I think that's 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.800 a really fun thing about how huge and all encompassing 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.680 this fan base is is It's gonna be a different 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.959 answer for everybody, in my opinion, their primary rival, just 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.640 in general, is whoever is the biggest obstacle in the 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.920 way of winning the division and getting else? When I 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.960 got here, I was arguing about this on Twitter with 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.240 people yesterday. When I got here, everything was centered around 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.440 the fact that the Cowboys couldn't beat the Giants at 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.400 at and T. They could not get over the hump 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.959 against Eli Giants knocked him out of the playoffs. The 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.120 year they won their first Super Bowl, everybody was just 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.520 fixated on not being able to beat the Giants. They've 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.920 been beating the Giants asses for a decade now, and 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.880 so nobody cares. Thank you, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not sorry. Whatever. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.960 Wait Clarence hill on yesterday and it was way worse 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.720 than that. Oh good, Okay, shouts out Clarence. But nobody thinks. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.360 Nobody thinks about the Giants anymore, and it's mainly about 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.440 the Eagles. The Eagles have won a Super Bowl recently, 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.480 they've had better teams recently. Washington is I know you're 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.880 an older and if Washington's your biggest rival, because they 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.679 haven't been relevant basically in my lifetime, not other than 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.640 a weird year or two here and there, like the 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.800 Robert Griffin year or last year or last year. But 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.640 they weren't good. Yeah for them, that's relevance. Yeah, they 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.600 want a division that's relevant, so I think it changes. 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.800 And then the other fun thing is there's people here 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.719 listening in Dallas or Texas. We got a boatload of 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.360 people in the DMV South Jersey, North Jersey. That's gonna 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.360 matter if you're catching hell from Washington fans every day. 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.640 That's who you're gonna hate the most. If you're surrounded 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.199 by Eagles fans, you need them to win those two 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.520 games more than anything. And I'll take it outside the division. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.600 Even we got fans in Seattle who are surrounded by 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.080 Seahawk fans and that's who they hate just because they're like, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.960 I just need you to give me something that I 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.520 can hold against these Seahawks fans, so they leave me alone. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.760 Like it's a fun thing about a fan base this big. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.360 So I don't think there's one answer, but right now, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.360 I think it's the Eagles. Well, and there's three or 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.920 four other teams you throw in there. If you if 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.600 you grew up and follow the Cowboys in the nineties, 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.280 there was one team, one team you had to beat, 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.959 and there was San Francisco. If you were in the seventies, 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.120 there was one team you had to beat. If you 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.200 live in San Antonio right now or south of the border, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.920 I guarantee you the Cowboys and Raiders. That's a that's 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.640 a really big rivalry there for a lot of our 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.680 Hispanic fans. You live close to Houston, because you know 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.760 there's hatred for Dallas there, you know, from the Texans 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.800 and all that. So there are you think there might 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.240 be more to Cowboys fans in Houston than Texans fans. Maybe, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.560 but you would know that creates state rivalry. Yeah, I mean, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.960 and and also you think about Washington. You know, Washington, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.000 there are so many Cowboy fans, and we know we 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.320 can look at our state map to see who's who's 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.400 watching our our stuff and who's clicking on our website. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.280 It's always the bigger states at California, in Texas and Florida, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.440 New York, and then Virginia always slides in there, and 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.120 a lot of it has to do with that. So 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.440 I think I think historically it's Washington, you know, a 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.680 lot of big games. But I think Dave's right, it's 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.360 kind of like who who it is right now? I 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.680 do nobody hates the Cowboys more than Philly, which that 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.680 brings it up a little bit more. And that's that's 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.600 part of it too, is Philly does have this fixation 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.960 on Dallas and and you kind of return the favorite. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.520 But it's the you know, think about them from the 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.160 seventies and eighties and stuff like that. Remember the TV 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.800 show Philadelphia. No, there was a show called Dallas. I mean, 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.120 that was the show. It was like, yeah, I Dodelphia. 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.160 But but it's it's it's the perception too. That's why 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.520 they'd probably view Dallas way more than the other teams 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.840 in the division because they're all Northeast. They all feel like, 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.240 you know, they work hard, they grind their steel mill, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.160 all that stuff, you know, lunch pale type guys. And 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.480 then Dallas it's glitz and glamour and ball this blah 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.520 blah blah, which both of them is too stereotypical. But 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.160 I mean, I just think that's kind of the view. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.360 It's like Dallas, you know, absolutely, and that's you know, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.000 when Ship Kelly was there, We're from Philly and we 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.440 fight Rocky this and that, and Dallas's see is this 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.160 yeah right, He's yeah exactly. But you know I think Dave, yeah, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.520 I think you hit it on the head. For me, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.320 like fandom, it's the great thing and it's the heartbreaking 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:15.320 thing about being a fan. The greatest rivalries are for everybody. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.800 It's personal because it's about who you got to deal with. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.120 The reason why I hate OHEU so much is because 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.560 I got so many friends who went to OU, which 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.680 means that every year, that Saturday, that's gonna dictate our 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.040 conversations for the next year until that next game, because 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.880 anytime college football comes up, I gotta deal with whatever 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.960 happens in that Texas OLI game. And it can be 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.200 great if we win, it can be heartbreaking and just 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.440 like you're depressed for a week having to deal with them, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.960 knowing you got to deal with them for the next 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.360 year coming off a loss, and if you get stomped, 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.040 oh my god, Like nobody wants to have to deal 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.040 with that. That's fandom. I was so spoiled. And there's 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.000 no other team than LSU in South Louisiana. That's it. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.120 You can go. You don't have to worry about what 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.840 bar you go do to watch the game. It's the 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.000 only thing on. It's the only thing anybody cares about. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.840 Then I move here and I got Arkansas fans and 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.160 Longhorn fans, and I can't get the bar to turn 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.320 my game on because there's a Texas A and M watch. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.600 But I'm like, oh my god, these people are the worst. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.239 But it but it makes it fun. It makes it 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.240 fun that you get to have that give and take 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.399 but that's what the rivalry is built on. It's whatever 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.480 your personal thing is. Nicky and I were talking about 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.520 this like it's whoever is that. There's always for every 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.000 team that's that target that the coach knows, because the 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.800 van base knows if you win that game, that's gonna 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.440 get you a lot of grace. You can lose a 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.400 lot of other games. Don't lose that game, and don't 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.880 consistently lose that game because that'll get you fired. Yeah, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.600 all right, appreciate We're gonna go ahead and take our 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.679 first break when we come back.
